Dragonfly Blanket

This beautiful blanket features a dragonfly motif in colorful rainbow rows and a “fluffy” white border. It makes a lovely gift for a new baby or a gorgeous lapghan to keep you warm. This easy crochet blanket features bright and bold colors and a simple construction with an easy pattern repeat. Once you get the hang of this stitch, your hook will be flying!

Alternate or Chainless Turning Stitch (Alt-ch): Turn your work. Do not work any chains. Make a SC in the first stitch of the row, insert your hook into the front left vertical bar of the SC and yarn over, pull up a loop (2 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops. There is a photo tutorial for this technique here: http://charmedbyewe.com/alternate-chainless-dc-turning-stitch/

Split Stitch: Working a split stitch means that you will be working into the center “V” of the stitch below, not into the top loops.
